Sharp increase in business activity

In the 3rd quarter of FY 2016/17 (01/10 to 31/12), FIGEAC AERO's consolidated revenue amounted to €90.1 million, with a spectacular 34.7% increase over the 3rd quarter of FY 2015/16 (33.5% at constant exchange rates). On a comparable consolidation basis, excluding the integration of the Auvergne Aéro Group (from 25/11 to 31/12), the Group posted sharp growth during the quarter, at 31.6%.

As announced, the growth dynamics in the 3rd quarter 2016/17 was mainly driven by the ramp-up of the Airbus A350 programme. The Aerostructures business thus posted growth of 41.3% over the period (39.9% at constant exchange rates and 37.7% on a comparable consolidation basis), while on-site assembly business practically doubled (+87.2%).

At the end of the first 9 months of FY 2016/17, the Group posted total growth of 27.2% (26.1% on a comparable consolidation basis and 27.4% at constant exchange rates), in line with forecasts.

Annual growth of 35% confirmed

In keeping with its operating plan, for the current financial year (ending 31 March 2017) the Group confirms its annual financial objectives, with expected record revenue growth of 35% to around €340 million, and an EBITDA[2] margin in line with Group standards, which would be an historic level.

On the strength of recent commercial successes, the objectives to March 2020 are maintained, with revenue expected to range between €650 and €750 million[3], i.e. nearly a three-fold increase in the space of 4 years, along with an EBITDA3 margin remaining at the current levels.
